Restoring

I've held off as long as I can, but the library, incomprehensibly, wants this beautiful book back. Sometimes it's words, and sometimes it's reading a picture, than restores a little bit of ourselves to ourselves. I am not consistently orderly enough for a kitchen like this, but a person who loves cookbooks and food writing could easily imagine herself studying a new recipe -- maybe from Kitchen Essays? -- here.
